The End

And just like that: Summer was over. It was 95 degrees one day and 53 degrees the next. Yes, there could be a 90-degree day sometime in November. Until then, it’d be a good idea to put those tank tops, sandals and cut-offs in storage. That’s just the problem – where are you going to […]

Is It Time For A Closet Tune-Up?

The last time we visited your storage closet, it was pretty neat. Nothing had been put on the shelves or closet rods, and everything went according to plan. It was a beautiful place to be. Now, some things have changed. Your storage closet is still beautiful, but there are a few things that aren’t working […]
